Crosman video hits a new all time low

[stonykill]

I know many an archery hunter that love to bring them in that close. Have you ever hunted deer, or turkey out of a stand? 10 yds. is common where I hunt.

I control nuisance wildlife for a living... raccoon in an attic or crawlspace... snakes, coyotes, hogs, foxes, you name it... I know CQB and the last thing to use is a pellet rifle... I stopped hunting deer right after the military... and turkeys are best hunted with scatterguns. calling things in IS the skill... anything will drop a turkey at 4 yards. I love how all of the sudden is an ethical dilemma, when all I am saying is that there is no skill shooting a turkey at 4 yards.

 you and I are talking about 2 completely different video's

[longhunter]

Are we talking about the video where the kid shoots one and it manages to worm it's way under a chicken wire fence??

THAT video perturbed me off royally. The kid couldn't even hit where he was aiming. Then, had the cajones to brag about what a great hunt it was while the bird was flopping around dying a slow death from a misplaced body shot. If he had any ethics at all, he would have at least tried for a head or neck shot.

Just goes to show that any jackwagon with a video camera and a PC can get their 15 minutes of fame.

Rant over.

[stonykill]

well I am not. There is a thread just on that video. This thread is supposed to be about the one I shared in the 1st post.

I am not fond of the jacked up on energy drink act or the end zone dance after scoring a TD for that matter, but to say all time low? You can pull a birds head off and they will run/ flop around like that, and I have seen it many a time when my mother was doing it. A turkey will not just drop with an arrow. A deer can take several minutes to die, and most do. There is a myth of instant death in hunting, and it does not happen that often. An air rifle is not my first choice for hunting game, but I am really thinking about using my M-Rod for my next turkey hunt. To me "all time low" is a network showing one of our troops getting his head cut of by peace loving Muslim's, not someone shooting a turkey with a pellet gun. Stupid mabey, all time low never.

 ok, let us try this once again! Iam NOT ....I repeat ...NOT talking about that video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   Does anyone watch the attached links before posting??


   I am talking about the video attached in the 1st post.

    I certainly wish posters would read, and watch the links before commenting. This thread is SO SO SO derailed now and off topic it is just plain ridiculous

Tom, I know it didn't do any good, but I posted there that the video needed to be pulled. I have watched several horribly made videos that were supposed to be reviews. A good review NEVER bashes another product like this moron does! Comparisons, maybe. Bashing - NEVER! Some just showed unboxing the gun, in fact, there is a new NP2 video. Very well made, but all it show is the unboxing - WHO CARES about unboxing, I want to see groups, recoil and other meaningful facts.

Ken.
I'm not on facebook, but I think you did the smartest thing concerning this subject!
We aren't of any use here, versus posting complaints, on the facebook page, and call their attn to it.   Good on you Ken!

[starlingassassin]

facebook is the devil LOL


ill never be on there,

too many old girlfriends that i dont want finding me could find me ,no thanks

 I had posted on their FB page right away. It was deleted. Not by me. Actually being Crosman is a sponsor having the complaints here makes a LOT of sense !

[breakfastchef]

Yea, penetration tells the whole story. Like that he was unconcerned about shooting a pellet in his wall.

Crosman really should have better policies in place to prevent posting of videos on their Facebook page that serves, well, no one.

The best thing is not to argue about it here but to have plenty of posters who are willing to post on that facebook page their dissatisfaction of the video representing Crosman.

ALSO, the GTA does not have ANY sponsors.  Never has, never will!  Vendors are invited to participate and post on the GTA as long as they meet certain requirements.  They do not pay to do so.

 with all due respect I am not arguing. I am a bit frustrated that so many posters didn't read or watch the video and hijacked the thread into being about a video it is not about. THAT is annoying.

   I did not know that about the vendors. I understood they were sponsors.

   In any case, the video given the stamp of approval by Crosman is poor business

[Stickstoff]

Crosman should really do a better job of policing their FB page. Some of the comments on posts are really inflammatory if nothing else. Regardless of their personal/corporate politics it's probably a bad policy to allow posts suggesting assassination of elected officials.

To begin with, I DID watch the video you referenced. And, I hope lil buck' s father did as well. He deserves to get his @@@ jacked for putting holes in the garage wall.
I ran across some of his other videos on YouTube, and came to the conclusion, early on, that he's a jackwagon.
As far as the video being posted on crosmans official fb page, that was a pretty big mistake, in my book. If I was chip, I certainly wouldn't want to be associated with that kind of advertising.

 I was of course referring to the others who asked if it was about the NP video and not you personally .. Just wanted that to be clear. I was not singling any one person out. Read through the comments and it is clear who watched and who did not. It becomes less clear after the thread got hijacked into being about the NP video

[longhunter]

I took no offense. Just wanted to get the thread back on track, seeing as how I was also guilty of derailing it.
